The Connecticut Mirror: Lamont paints himself into a fiscal corner by ruling out solutions to deficit - "During an interview Tuesday, Lamont repeated his belief that using one-time reserves to cover recurring costs in the state budget is the easy way out. 'It takes all of the pressure off of the stakeholders to fix the structural deficit,' he said."
